Official site for the high/dark fantasy books of authors Barb Hendee and J. C. Hendee, including the Noble Dead Saga (a.k.a. The Noble Dead series), the Mist-Torn Witches series, the Vampire Memories series, and TNDS: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.

After putting their heroes through leagues of travel and many betrayals, magical traps, and desperate rounds of dangerous diplomacy, the Hendees bring their third Noble Dead subseries (and 14th book in the overall saga) to a violent, action-packed conclusion. The mixed party of sages, mages, intelligent wolves, and well-meaning undead led by dhampir Magiere has just two powerful elemental artifacts left to hide before they can finally go home to live in peace. Unfortunately, an undead horde is gathering in the desert wastes to pave the way for the return of a great ancient evil. At the urging of their companion Ghassan, the adventurers decide they must reunite the five artifacts and head to the desert. They have no idea that Ghassan has been possessed by a 1,000-year-old spirit who once served the evil entity and longs for its return. The Hendees have created a complex, multi-strand plot ripe with conflicts, both internal and external. Though new readers may have trouble keeping track of everyone, longtime fans will enjoy seeing their heroes finally triumph. Agent: John Silbersack, Trident Media Group. (Jan.)

We're in the final countdown, a few weeks out from publication of the final chapter in the Noble Dead Saga: The Night Voice. The official publication day is January 5th, 2016.

JC and I are on pins and needles. This was a tough one to write on a number of levels, and we hope our readers will love the conclusion. All main characters have essential roles to play, and Magiere and Leesil will both face their destinies.

The saga has been a labor of love for us, stretching over a decade plus, and one of the most moving things we hear from our readers is, “I started this series when I was in high school.” It means a great deal to us that so many people have taken the adventure right along with us!
